The Tutor Panel
The Tutor Panel turns a Tutor from a personal assistant into a classroom tool. Owners and editors use the Member tab for roster and evaluations. Structured goals and live monitoring live in Live Class (from a Classroom, or the Tutor Panel Live Class tab once you join a session).
Member tab (owners & editors)
Open your Tutor β Member tab to:
- Students β add or remove students; see questions asked and last activity; open History for read-only conversations.
- Collaborators β invite co-teachers (when the tutor is not linked to a classroom).
- Evaluations β generate tutor evaluation reports (see Evaluate student learning).
If the tutor is linked to a Classroom, the roster is managed by the classroom (read-only here). Open the classroom Member tab to change who has access.
Tasks live in Live Class
Structured learning goals are Live Class tasks β not a separate Missions section on the Tutor Panel.
- Link the Tutor to a Classroom (Classroom β Tutor β Link).
- Create a Live Class from that linked tutor (see Create a Live Class).
- Add tasks (title, description, and optional finish condition). Use Improve with AI to refine wording.
- Go live and monitor mastery on the Live Class Tasks / Students tabs.
Students see tasks in their Live Class panel while a session is running.
Structured goals are authored as Live Class tasks. An internal mission-checking tool may still appear in some agent traces β it is not a separate Missions tab.
Session controls
During a live session, Student Controls help manage classroom pace:
- Mute Students β block new messages from students (and pushes to Interactive Threads).
- Request Frequency Limit β minimum seconds between student messages.
- Interactive Threads post frequency β minimum seconds between student pushes to Interactive Threads (
0= no limit).
Students may see these limits in the chat status bar (muted, cooldown, or not yet joined). Settings can auto-reset when you leave a session.
Live Class (from Classroom) is the full classroom-scoped experience β roster monitoring, tasks, insights, pull invite, and Thread. See the Live Class collection.
Interactive Threads
Students can Push to Interactive Threads so the teacher sees a conversation on the projector or shared screen. Teachers can also Post to Interactive Threads from the Live Class roster.
- Join or open a Live Class session.
- Open the Thread tab (Interactive Threads).
- View student-pushed threads; collapse or expand messages as needed.
Pushing is blocked while students are muted, and rate-limited by the Interactive Threads post frequency setting.
Pair Live Class tasks with Evaluations (Member tab) to review how students engaged with the Tutor over time.
